    yea.. i believe the legal term for that kid is deceased
    ..so do you have to do 75% worth of damage to a car like that for them to total it.. or will your insurance pay hundreds of thousands to fix it i wonder

    I think if you fart within 100 yards of that car, it automatically places a call to the insurance company....

    So sad. I know others don't like the styling of it, but I think it's one of the sexiest cars out there right now. I could also be blinded by the sheer engineering marvel of the whole thing.

    Not the Ariel Atom which is way cool, but the Barabus TKR which looks like an older GTP car. It has yet to made other than the prototype. Claimed 0-60 in 1.7 seconds and a top speed of 270mph. If I have to choose between the two, I'll take the Bugatti, if I must.

    I can't disagree with the major complaints here, but the car is really a retro-rod based off of the mid 1920's type 35 Bugatti. The main cgaracteristics to carry over are - The grill, the wheels, and the brushed steel interior. Besides if we are inside, who cares what the grill looks like.
